Good news on the way for cyclists

The Government made an announcement earlier this week about money for various cycle related schemes across the country.

Buried in a lot of the detail is some specific funding for South Liverpool.

Money will be going to create more secure storage for cycles at stations including Cressington, Aigburth, Hunts Cross and St Michaels. The idea is for the storage to be the sort that closes and that you get into using a fob.

This is good news for people who want to be able to cycle for part of their journey to work, or elsewhere. At the moment fewer than five bikes can be "parked" at Cressington so this new money could make quite a difference.
